Hundreds of youths shouting anti-Raila slogans poured into the highway when word went round that the opposition leader would pass through the town on his way to the funeral. A traffic police officer who attempted to intervene to ease traffic flow was confronted by the hostile youths who threatened to beat him up. The youths vowed to “keep vigil” to prevent the opposition leader from slipping through.
